Awareness!® HD is a unique audio app, that allows headphone/headset users to hear what’s going on around them, whilst listening to music (or any other audio) on their Android Tablet. (Nexus 7 only for now, coming to future Android tablets with OS Jelly Bean and to iPad soon)

Developed from the Award-Winning Awareness!® The Headphone App for iPhone, this new Android app uses our patented, cutting-edge audio engine, to deliver anything from normal conversation to warning shouts, straight to your ears. Awareness of your surroundings in something you never want to lose!

Tablets are used in homes, offices and restaurants, where it is very easy to get lost in music and miss an important phone call, miss a delivery or not hear your waitress wanting to take an order.

Awareness! lets you hear when the person next to you talks, at home you’ll hear the doorbell ring and in the office you’ll catch calls without attracting catcalls. Sitting at the airport bar with a movie, you’ll still hear the ‘Last Call’ before the flight departs.

You set a personal mic threshold level and then the mic is only switched on when a sound is louder than your background noise.

Awareness!® HD uses the Nexus7’s built in microphone to analyze your surroundings and delivers any important sounds straight to your headphones/headset, over your music, audio book, game or movie. (Awareness! cannot work if your tablet is in a bag or pocket)

Awareness!® HD Android for Etymotic is a customised version, tuned for the specific sensitivity and performance of Etymotic’s superb high-isolation headphones and headsets.
